Good day everyone

I would like these two book covers to be criticised by the house.

I started with the yellow one but I would like to change it to the light blue.

Sales have been slow with this book but I know things will improve.

Kindly let me know.

bros1234, does payoneer cards still work on Nigerian ATMs? What's the exchange rate like?

If anyone has made a recent withdrawal, I would really appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks.

The rate last weekend is N199.6 never ever use the atm to withdraw your funds.

I can write and edit your 15,000 words book in 5 days for just 10k. You don't have to pay until the book has passed the duplicate content test.
PS: Am a great writer, I just need the naira for the moment. So you should expect a well researched quality content.
My phone number (08183955zero57). Whatsapp/call.

Hmmm, 15k words in just 5 days? I hope it won't be copy and paste?

THE BIG BOSS HIMSELF, BROS 12345,
SHARING SOME NUGGETS ABOUT KDP BUSINESS

SATURDAY TIPS FOR PUBLISHERS

A. Your eBook cover.

1. Your cover is everything. If the cover is gross and lacks a clear message, the readers’ eyes will scroll right over it, and your opportunity may be lost forever.

2. Think of it as a blog design: you go to a blog and have less than 10 seconds to attract the reader. After that 10 seconds and they still don’t know what you’re about — they’ll X out and be gone forever.

3. As your personal guide through this process, I highly recommend you hire a designer. 85% of the covers out there are garbage — this is an opportunity, it’s your time to shine.

B. Can I un-publish at any time?

1. Yes, you may withdraw your eBook at any time, but remember this: Once enrolled in KDP Select, that “exclusive” rule still applies for 90 days — so even if you un-publish, you will not be able to publish your eBook on any other platform.

C. Royalties

1. As the publisher, you determine the price. KDP offers two ROYALTY PLANS: 70% and 35%.

2. In order to receive 70% royalties for your eBook, you must meet the following criteria:

3. The price of your eBook must be between $2.99 and $9.99.

You can read more about it on the Pricing Page.

D. Do I need an ISBN number?

No.

An ISBN number is not required when publishing through Kindle Direct Publishing; what you will receive is a 10-digit AISN (Amazon Standard Identification Number), which is unique to your eBook and found on Kindle Amazon.

AMAZON also gives you free ISBN on CreateSpace.

If you have an ISBN number, you may enter it in the publishing process.

EDITED:

I actively started publishing on Amazon Kindle in August, 2016 after taking an online course and following through with @MK82 thread. The original intention of this thread was for group learning, but I have now edited it to reflect what I have learned in the last months in this business and state various ways I could help anyone who wants to publish his books online.

The group learning still continues but just incase anyone wants my help as I have gotten several emails from NLders to help since this thread opened, I can now help out for small fee

MY INCOME EXPERIENCE


1. Month 1 - August - $110

2. Month 2 - Sept - $359

3. Month 3 - Oct - $478

4. Month 4 - Nov - $740

5. Month 5 - Dec - $880

6. Month 6 - Jan 2017 - $1,100

7. Month 7 - Feb 2017 - $1,800


Please note:

1. I calculate all earnings as dollars, even though I know that when the 51 pounds of Sep and 55 pounds of Oct are converted, it would be more. I just put everything as dollars, so that I don't exaggerate things.

2. I also include my CreateSpace income in the calculation.


MY LESSONS EXPERIENCE:


1. Publishing books online through Amazon Kindle and CreateSpace is a very viable means of earning income. It may not be a get rich quick business model but it surely does work. Consider that these books will keep earning income for life, even while I am no longer doing anything.

2. The more books you have, the better you can earn. So far, I have about 20 books. My one-year goal is to have 60-100 books on Amazon and shoot for $2,000 monthly from this model. Once achieved, it keeps earning even when you are no longer working. That'swhy this is a great way to work

3. This is a great way for anyone to earn income, especially for authors and those who have the motivation to create books on niches.

4. Any book can sell on Amazon. It will interest you to know that so far, I only have prayer books published because of my calling. I have now started publishing other niches like health and productivity, but believe me, any book can sell. So don't be stuck in trying to know the right profitable niches.

Your cover doesn't look modern. Get a good design from fiverr.

If you're looking not to spend money, it'll hurt your sales in the long run.

Also, work on your title by looking similar books and see how they structure their title.

Your title is meant for blog posts and not for books.

Hope it helps, feel free to quote me if you have more questions.

You should go and look at the covers of the best selling books in your book's category/niche and check out the type of pictures used, font styles and arrangements.
You can also google or watch videos of how to make a good book cover.
Or just get a good graphic designer and save yourself all the stress.
Goodluck.
